It is believed that the Tykes, who won promotion through the League One play-offs during the 2015-16 season, will look to Kent to replace former loanee Lloyd Isgrove, who has returned to parent club Southampton.

Kent made 17 appearances while on loan at the Sky Blues during the 2015-16 season, scoring one goal and providing one assist.

The versatile midfielder will help his new club cement their place in the Championship as he revealed his best attributes to supporters.
